So, you’ve upgraded to the LG Nexus 4 and you have an old Samsung Galaxy Nexus kicking around that you no longer have a use for. You could sell it — the device still does well on eBay, despite being more than a year old — or you could hold onto it until late February when you’ll be able to get your first taste of Canonical’s brand new Ubuntu platform for smartphones.

Announced at CES 2013 in Las Vegas this week, Ubuntu for smartphones is coming to do battle with Android and iOS, and its first image will be for the Galaxy Nexus.

After Sony’s new Xperia Z appeared on the show floor at CES on Monday, we were certain that the Japanese company would make it official soon after. And it’s now done just that. The Xperia Z is its latest flagship smartphone, with a 5-inch 1080p display, a 1.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, and a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera.

LAS VEGAS, CES 2013 – Ubuntu’s entry into the smartphone market is interesting, and at first gasp, they look like another open-source Android competitor doomed from the start for lack of marketshare. Maybe it’s not so bleak, though, for the Linux maker. Sure, they’re hopelessly outnumbered and entering a bloody fray, but like Battlestar Galactica’s Cylons, they’ve got a plan.

Moshi has today announced its plans to enter the portable battery market in the second half of 2013 with a brand new charging product for Android and iOS devices. The device will employ Moshi’s trademark look, which consists of a modern, minimalist design and premium materials, and will initially be available with 5,000 and 10,000 mAh batteries.

Moshi has announced the Cardette 3, the latest addition to its best-selling media card reader line, at CES in Las Vegas today.  The full-featured card reader supports the latest high-performance memory cards, including CF and SDHC/XC, and boasts super speedy USB 3.0 and UHS-I compatibility.
